Johnny Depp cameos in Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill"

I haven't yet seen Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill, but most likely will wait until it's released on dvd before even thinking about watching it... despite the fact my favorite actor makes a surprise cameo in the film. As much as I love Johnny Depp, and enjoy most of Adam's movies, after reading all the reviews it looks like this one was a big flop and the only cameo to warrant any laughs at all was the one by Johnny.

Other cameos in Jack and Jill:  Dana Carvey (first film appearrance in years!) John McEnroe, David Spade, Shaquille O’Neal, Drew Carrey, Christie Brinkley, Michael Irvin, and even Jared Fogle (the guy from the Subway sandwich commercials). Here's a snippet from the MiamiHerald by Rene Rodriguez about the cameo:

The bit with Depp, who has an amusing exchange with Al Pacino, made me chuckle. Yes, Pacino is also in "Jack and Jill" playing himself. This is not a cameo, but a real supporting role. And unlike Robert DeNiro, who often sleepwalks through his paycheck jobs, Pacino gives the movie his all. Method is Method, whether you're working with David Mamet or Dennis Dugan.

Dennis Dugan (director of Jack and Jill) is a TV and film (mostly TV) actor who has directed many of Sandler’s pictures, from Happy Gilmore to Big Daddy to You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. Why isn’t Dugan better known, considering his track record of box-office hits? Because he’s terrible at his job (this movie looks so cheap and crummy that when Sandler attends an L.A. Lakers basketball game, all you can notice is the actor standing in front of a green screen, the athletes behind him pasted in by computer.) And he is practically invisible as a director anyway. He’s a yes-man who is good at doing what he’s told — the epitome of a hack.
